Use Miscellaneous settings to control selected Vansah features and notifications for a Jira space. Review the saved options for your space before changing them, especially settings that affect result selection or Jira comments.
Open Miscellaneous settings
Open Vansah in the Jira space.
Open the Vansah settings menu and select Settings and Compliance.
Select Space Settings in the left menu.
Select Miscellaneous.
Select or clear the checkbox you want to change and wait for the success message.
You need Jira administrator or Jira space administrator access to change these settings. Most checkbox changes save immediately. Disabling requirements-based Test Case results asks you to confirm the change.
The screenshot shows the Miscellaneous section. Your layout may include additional controls, including Initiative traceability.
Test Case and execution settings
Setting | What it controls |
Components | Enables Jira component associations on Test Cases. See Link Jira Components to Test Cases. |
Labels | Enables labels on Test Cases. See Labels for Test Cases. |
Quick Test | Shows Quick Test result choices for supported manual execution workflows. Normal step-by-step execution remains available when Quick Test is disabled. See Enable or Disable Quick Test. |
Link Test Cases | Controls automatic association of a Test Case with a Jira work item linked through its Test Run log. The checkbox label is “Automatically Link Test Case to a new Work item bug.” This is separate from simply creating a Test Run. |
Test Case Execution Result | “Test Results are requirements based” controls result selection in supported views: selected uses the execution requirement’s context; cleared allows the latest result from other execution contexts. Review Test Case Execution Result before changing it. |
Changing result selection changes which result a supported view displays. It does not rewrite the previously saved Test Runs. To enable or require Version, Sprint, or Environment fields, use Test Run Properties.
Epic and Initiative traceability
Setting | What it controls |
Show Traceability Work View for Epics | Uses the traceability Work View for Epic work items when enabled. |
Show Traceability Work View for Initiatives | Uses the traceability Work View for Initiative work items when enabled. |
These options affect the work item view. They do not grant Jira access or create Test Case links.
Assignment notifications
Under Notifications, When assigning a Test Case, email the Assignee. controls assignment emails for the supported Jira work item assignment workflow. Self-assignment does not send an email through this workflow.
For the detailed procedure, see Jira Notifications when Assigning Test Cases.
Jira work item comments
Under Notify Jira Work Item Comment, review these choices:
Checkbox | Purpose |
When a Test Case Passes | Adds an automatic result comment for a supported completed Passed execution. |
When a Test Case Fails | Adds an automatic result comment for a supported completed Failed execution. |
When Linking a Work Item to a Test Run | Controls the intended linking-comment behavior. Some linking flows can still post comments when this is cleared. |
When a user Adds, Links, Unlinks a Test Case | Controls comments for supported Test Case management actions from Jira work items. |
These checkboxes are not a universal mute for every comment. Explicit Test Run comments and some work item linking comments follow separate paths. See Control Vansah Comments on Jira Work Items for the verified behavior and limitations.
Check a saved change
Reopen Miscellaneous to confirm the saved checkbox state after an error or unexpected result.
Refresh or reopen the relevant Test Case list or work item view to load updated settings.
Check the same Jira space in both settings and the testing view.
Use the detailed guide for the setting when its behavior depends on the execution context.
